Abstract
Chloris barhata Sw. and Cyperus rotundus L. from a mercury contaminate d site near a chloralkali plant were tested for relative tolerance to Hg by root-elongation method. The above two species from the Hg-contam inated site exhibited high tolerance to Hg compared to the same specie s from a non-contaminated site. Tolerance to Hg was higher in Chloris barbata than in Cyperus rotundus.
